You're The One!

Chapter 22: Only

Chris

Raise every bottle and cup in the sky.

Nothing bad bads up in here tonight.

Oh if you lame and you know it be quiet!

"That sounds better." Nicki said smiling.

I walked out the booth and sat down.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"I don't think that sound right. I wanna cuss!!!!" I said chuckling.

She laughed. "Trust, this is gonna be a hit!" She smiled.

"Yeah I know. Especially cause I'm gonna be on it."

"Whatever. The pink print is gonna be number 1 regardless."

She was right. My girl Nicki been putting out singles left to right. This album gone be one to please!

"That's not the only thing that's wrong with you."

I sighed. "It's Nikki."

She smiled and did the Nicki Minaj blink. "What about her?"

I laughed. "Not you. My ex. She's just... over exaggerating."

"Oh God what happened?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Me and Amara went out to Virginia and we kind of had a little show that was rather...."

"Rather what?" She asked.

I sighed and told her the whole story that happened in Virginia.

When I got done she laughed at me and shook her head.

"She hit you?" She laughed again.

"That's not funny." I said with a straight face. "Cause now I don't know what to do with her."

"I'm sorry. Look, if you really wanted her you would know."

"How?"

"Cause you would treat her like you treat Amara."

I was silent.

"And I know I don't know much about you two but from what I'm hearing it's sounds like you like her."

I was still silent.

"And to be 100. I don't like Nikki."

I laughed.

"Why because you have the same name?" I asked jokingly.

"You know what...." She said makin me laugh harder.

"Lets get back to work White girl. You know you a white girl trapped in a black girl trapped in a island girl body?" I said walking back in the booth.

"Whateverrrrr. You just worry about raising every bottle and cup in the sky. Mr.Nobody's loyal."

I laughed and went in the booth.

Amara

I sat there waiting for Ashley to come out and show me another dress that's right for Next Week.

It's my album release party and I have to look right.

My phone rang in my purse and I pulled it out almost ready to throw it.

"Hello?" I asked annoyed.

"Glad I got you. How you been baby?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Nayvadious, I am not in a relationship with you. I'm not wifey, I'm not your girl."

"Alright. My bad, my bad. What you doing?"

"Minding my business." I snapped.

"Why the attitude?"

"Because you're making me mad. That's why. I'm busy."

He chuckled.

"Look, I just called to see if you wanted to come with me and Cameron to the movies that's all."

I rolled my eyes.

"You're lying. Cameron is with my parents visiting my grandfather In the nursing home."

He sighed.

"Look, I just wanna spend time and talk to you. That's all."

"Talk to me about what? We have nothing to talk about."

"We have a lot to talk about."

"Like what?" I asked annoyed.

I looked up to see Ashley standing there with a dress in her hand. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up then told her to hang on.

"Like Cameron."

I sighed.

"He's fine. He's in good hands."

"I know that. But it's something different.... Look, can I just talk to you please?"

I thought about it for a minute.

"Fine. I'll tell you where to meet me at."

"Okay. I love you."

"Ugh."

I hung up and turned around to Ashley who was giving me a smirk.

"Don't even go there Ash." I laughed walking away.
